that is one of the healthiest government programs in the world. well, it's because of people like former republican congressman bob mcewan of ohio who says we already spent that money that we owe the american people and we don't want to give it back. how do i know he says that, because i talked oh him on msnbc in 2010. >> you guys spent it on the tax cuts for the rich and your senseless, ridiculous wars. how about with he get our money back? >> either the money is spent or it's there as a surplus. make up your mind. the fact is that it's gone. the fact is that it was in treasury bonds and consumed and spent and there is no treasury. >> it's been consumed and spent. it went to the rich and their tax cuts, to the wars. now, they owe you that money. you put it in your whole life. you work, it came out of every single check. when we owe the money to the chinese or to the saudi arabians or anyone else or to the bankers, the republicans will turn around and go the full faith and credit of the united states is on the line. we have to pay that money back.
